“Hi, I just downloaded a movie on iTunes and I was wondering if I could convert it into an ISO image file so that I can burn it to a Blu-ray disc.”

iTunes store has a lot of video resources like TV shows, movies and public lectures. And as we all know, videos we download from iTunes are usually in M4V format and protected by Apple’s Digital Rights Management(DRM)technology and normally we cannot further process the videos like transferring them to Android devices or burning them to a Blu-ray disc. But there are ways to make them happen. In this post you would find instructions that would guide you to convert iTunes DRM M4V to ISO image files and burn them to disc.

Part 1: How to Convert M4V Video with DRM to Universal MP4 Video

The first thing to do with converting M4V to ISO file is to remove the DRM protection from M4V video. Leawo TunesCopy is a powerful iTunes DRM removal tool that can help you remove the DRM protection from the M4V video and convert the video into MP4, a more universal video that can be played by other players and devices.

Below are the instructions for using Leawo TunesCopy to Convert M4V with DRM protection to DRM-free MP4 video.

Step 1: Add M4V files to TunesCopy from iTunes

Open TunesCopy, on the main interface, click “Add Files” button on the sub-menu bar or “Add Files” button in the middle of the interface and the program would automatically scan all the rental or purchased M4V files on your computer and list them on the pop-up window that comes up right after you click the “Add files” button. Choose the files you want and click “Add” button or add all the files to the interface at the same time by clicking “Add All“.

Step 2: Choose audio tracks and subtitles in the video

If there are audio tracks and subtitles in the video, you can click the Edit button on every file to choose the subtitles and audio tracks you want to keep in the output MP4 video.

Step 3: Set output directory

At the bottom of the interface you could see the “Output” option and the default output directory. If you want to change the default output directory, click the button next to the directory to set a new output directory for the output MP4 video.

Step 4: Start removing DRM from M4V and converting M4V to MP4

After finishing all the above steps, click the Convert button on the bottom right to start removing DRM protection from the M4V video and converting M4V to MP4 video.

Note:

Before the program starts the conversion, you will be asked to authorize the computer to play the video you are converting if you haven’t authorized the computer before.
